...and we reconstructed the Princess Diana accident.

We digitized the car in which she was a passenger. Using the data available
from the accident scene (car speed, position of the other cars) eyewitness testimony
and police reports--we concluded that she died of massive internal injuries.

Her car was traveling at a high rate of speed, and stopped abruptly. Her
body continued to travel at that high rate of speed, until she hit the backseat.
She was not wearing a seatbelt. The force severed the artery from her heart and she died.

Her death is consistent and logical--given the high speed and no seat belt.

If I remember correctly, our animation showed a white, compact car involved
in this accident. I believe it was inconsequential to the accident, although
the other cars in the tunnel catalyzed this accident.

We took measurements of the tunnel, the Mercedes, and had a team of engineers,
vehicle-dynamics experts, structural engineers, physiologists and biomedical
engineers and animators working on this project. The animation aired on "The
Learning Channel" on a show called "Crash Detectives".

I have a copy of the animation. I'll post it if anyone is interested.
